Who Is God, Where Is God, What Is God
I searched for God in temples
But nowhere was He found
I looked into the skies and waters
And everywhere on the ground
To me, God was a statue
I prayed to Him for years
I was in love with my Lord
And I used to pray with tears
I thought God lived in the temple
It was Heaven in every way
I used to talk to my Saviour,
Morning, night, all day
God gave me everything I wanted
There was nothing more to need
I used to be ashamed of myself
When I looked upon my greed
I had everything I wanted
But one thing I never found
I was looking for the God I prayed to.
Wanting to hear His sound
One day it dawned upon me
What is life’s real test?
To find true purpose and meaning,
I set out on a quest
I started studying the scriptures
In religion for Him I found
I went for many pilgrimages
Just going round and round
Who is God? Where is God? What is God?
This quest did I start
I had nothing else to desire
There was only one thing in my heart
I decided that I will not stop
My passion, I must find
I was willing to give up everything
There was only one thing in my mind
What use was the wealth that I earned?
What use was this pomp and show?
I knew my life wasn’t forever
I knew one day, I will go
I knew I was living in ignorance
The truth I couldn’t see
I was seeking happiness
But in peace, I could not be!
The world talks so much about God
But little do we know
God is such an amazing power
This cosmos is His show
The Sun, the Moon, the Stars
The Birds, the Animals, the Flowers
They are just manifestations
Of the one and only Power!
We think our goal is happiness
And pleasures do we seek
So shallow is our passion
We never reach the peak
We may get everything we desire
We may achieve all we dream
But if we can’t realize God
Then our life is without a gleam!
The purpose of life is to find God
We must realize the truth
We must realize what we are not
Only then, we will get to the root
A few of us are lucky
We start seeking God
We give up everything else that we have
Because we are in love with the Lord!
All cannot find the Master
It depends on His Grace
A few of us are lucky
To finally see His face
Not in temples, churches or mosques
Neither in Scriptures, you tear apart
Those who truly love Him
Will find Him inside their heart
God is Everything, Everywhere
He manifests as You and Me
He is the Cause and we just Effects
Without Him, we cannot be
